Missing Time?
Missing Time?Am I imagining things, or is there about a one year gap between the founding of MSCL.com and the earliest posts on the forum?
Of course I only found this site about a year ago, so maybe it's common knowledge to the old timers; I'm just curious. Was there simply no forum during the first year, or was there a catastrophic memory failure of some kind? (Damn, nostalgia moves fast -- I am already looking back to the late nineties! Yes, the days when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth and my internet connection consisted of two soupcans and a bit of string... ) I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.
-- Clarence Darrow I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it. -- Mark Twain Yeah, MSCL.COM v1.0 was a very simple website - it had only a few pages and a basic layout (everything had white backgorund). (see http://web.archive.org/web/199812030550 ... m/text.htm )
The website started on August 25th, 1998 - the forum was launched in May 1999 AFAIR. The new look of the entire site (as you see it now, with a few modifications) was launched around late 1999. The new forum was installed in July 2002. Check http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.mscl.com for more nostalgia... A new MSCL.com is in the works for ages now, but I'm changing my mind almost every month about the "look & feel" of the new layout . And I have less and less free time to work on it. But it will come one day, I promise BTW: I found the first posting: http://www.mscl.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1136 (May 25th, 1999)
(it says "1136" in the URL due to the import/export when we switched the forum software - the software "recounted" the postings)
Thanks Sascha, I'm glad to know I didn't miss out on much; when I first found the forum I spent about a month or two just catching up on all the old threads.
Yep, that's the problem with perfectionism, you never can live up to your own impossibly high standards. Done, done, and done. And I mean done! I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.
